Black Death (Plagues)

Noble Landholders

• The Black Death began to spread when people started moving or visiting different towns and the people that were already sick would pass it on the the people in that town and then other people would move and go to a different town. That's how it started to spread by people moving that were already sick.
• The Black Death started in China and then spread through whole Central Asia and Middle East. It is believed that it entered Europe through sea trade routes in Italy, especially Venitian. They are numerous documents in Latin, Arabic and Chinese that has make scientists and historian able to track the spread of the disease and we are now well informed about it. In Europe, the Black Death killed around 30% of the whole population.

black death traveled mostly Via trade routes. With the help of rats and fleas.

most people diagnosed with the Black Death during the middle ages died within 3 days. It was considered a sign from God if someone made it to 4 days.

is that what you're talking about? middle ages?

The Danse Macabre or Dance of death, was most common in paintings around the time of the Black Plague outbreak in Europe.

The reason why it is called the dance of death is because if you where infected with the plague some people would loose control over their limbs and movement when this happened they appeared to be dancing.

well this is what my history teacher told me.

People had many different ideas as to what caused the Black Death e.g bad smells, people's sins e.t.c Sadly, the Jews were also believed to be the cause in some parts of Europe. And so the plague awakened an old antisemitic prejudice in people looking for a scapegoat to blame the plague on (the Jews).

As of this writing, over 660 years ago; the most famous outbreak ending its peak around 1353, although there were occasional outbreaks until the 19th century.

About 75 million people died in the epidemic, approximately three-fourths of Europe's population at the time.

The idea that a germ could cause a disease did not come into being until people saw them in microscopes, and even then it took a long time for people to realize it was possible. The connection was not established as science until the time of Pasteur, in the nineteenth century. Most medieval people thought it was bad air or some sort of curse.

Well thats the easiest question in the world to answer. It didn't , it's a feel good factor for people to call it the Black Death and for the ruling class to brainwash the people yet again into thinking that all that comes from Africa is BLACK and dangerous, but hey have you ever heard any account of the plague in Africa...? would love to find some evidence considering something that killed nearly half the population of Europe came from Africa and killed all our clean living, every day washing and bathing children.Ofcourse it must have come from there where else ? Europe is and always has been clean till the Blacks arrived.Thats why our language is the way it is Black Death,Black Mail,Black Day, all things white are pure as snow,as are the people. So in answer to the question the plague has always been in Africa untill the Blacks brought to Europe. Hard to really say when because black people have no history untill the white man brought history and civiliastion from Europe to Africa,and look at the thanks we get for it.

The Bubonic Plague was a disease carried by the flea, who spread the disease by infesting rats. When the rat died of Bubonic Plague, the flea would search for another host to feed on, namely humans.

The plague took place during the middle ages between 1346 and 1353. It's peak years were between 1348 and 1350.

Anti anginal medications include nitrates such as nitroglycerin and beta adrenergic receptor blockers (beta blockers).

Nitrates work by causing dilation of the arteries of the heart so more blood can flow through to bring oxygen to the heart.

B blockers work by decreasing the work-load of your heart and decreasing the amount of oxygen required by your heart to do the same amount of work

Usually, until the infected person dies. However, emperor Justinian I of the Byzantine Empire contracted the bubonic plague and survived. So it all depends, whether you're in good health and you get it or whether you're already weak and you get it then you could have a chance of living or you could die. In the Elizabethan era, many died due to the techniques that doctors used. The most popular was bleeding or pricking an infected person and letting the "infected blood" or "bad blood" flow out. These repeated bleedings would occur until the person was rid of or died from the disease.

The author satirizes, or criticizes with wit and humor, the computer revolution. He advocates change in that we should be concerned about "which tasks really needed doing and which did not" instead of wasting time worrying about all the ramifications and side effects of this revolution.

the black death happened not in one city but allover the world. it was the worst in Europe and Asia but was all so in southern northern America, south America and Africa.

black death started in China. Than spread via silk road.

I think the plague was instrumental in turning people to religion as being something very personal. Their desperation and hope is illustrated in the paintings of St. Roch, St Charles, and St. Macarius of Ghent, and the Madonna, either showing the Saints caring for victims of the plague, pleading with the Virgin Mary to heal the afflicted, and providing hope that the Madonna will save them as she did Venice (as depicted in the painting, The Madonna Save Venice from the Plague). While I was raised in the Catholic Church I left it 30 years ago, yet even now when in times of crisis I still find comfort in rituals of their prayers.

The Black Death, the most severe epidemic in human history, ravaged Europe from 1347-1351. Although sources are a bit sketchy, it is thought that as many as 25 million people (one third of Europe's population at the time) were killed during this short period,. Thousands of people died each week. This plague killed entire families at a time and destroyed at least 1,000 villages. Once a family member had contracted the disease, the entire household was doomed to die. Parents abandoned their children, and parent-less children roamed the streets in search for food. Boccaccio said it best"... brother was forsaken by brother, nephew by uncle, brother by sister and often husband by wife: nay fathers and mothers were found to abandon their own children..." If the people weren't dead they ran away in vain attempts to save themselves. Victims, delirious with pain, often lost their sanity. Life was in total chaos. The Black Death struck the European people with very little warning. Physicians and philosophers harmed rather than helped. They did not understand the causes of infectious diseases, or how they spread. It is no wonder that the people looked to priests and story-tellers for answers, rather than doctors. They did not have the ability to understand where this sudden cruel death had come from. And they did not know whether it would ever go away. The Plague was a disaster without a parallel, causing dramatic changes in medieval Europe, contributing to what is called the Crisis of the Fourteenth Century. The Black Death had many effects beyond its immediate symptoms. Not only did the Black Death take a devastating toll on human life, but it also played a major role in shaping European life in the years that followed.

They became popular areas to buy and sell items. More people started living there. Voila, a city!

I suppose it isn't 'affected'. It's just the people who were in the family loved him/her! And when somebody dies, it's family is just tragic!

because of the invasion of black people into europe
